Game day vs Eagles

Edwards didn't even play on the weekend and you're still having a dig.
Webberley is behind a whole string of players with better skills in similar roles to what he plays.
He seems to get better with every senior game he misses!

Now that I have calmed down a bit I think we lost it at the selection table. I am a big Matt Dea fan but Post or Griffiths should have played today. Our lack of height in defence cost us too many goals in the 1st half.

disagree. the goals their talls kicked in the 1st half were either a result of them getting space- 2 to darling, 1 roved 1 mark, or from outmarking the tall defenders we had, rance and grimes. i dont think any of their marks in the F50 were against smaller outsized defenders.

didn't mention the web.
 
so you think we have enough class and game breakers, especially in the forward line?

IMO we have more than enough class in the midfield, our forward line problems are our talls.
If they could hold a grab and kick a goal reliably it would help.

We desperately need more class runners on the forward line.

Desperately? I disagree strongly.
We have Cotchin, Deledio, Nahas & Martin all rotating through there which has been very effective. We have mids who are very good by foot at sending the ball inside 50.
King has been missing which hurts a little but our talls are the issue!

disagree. need more classy medium half forwards and goal sneaks. can't rely on jack and vick to kick all our goals. nahas, jackson,and king aren't good enough. We are too predictable going forward. Need more options from leading half forwards, and need better crumbers to take advantage when we do go the bomb.

btw would play Jweb in the mid, not the forward line.

Add in a 25 yo Nathan Brown or Steve Johnson and a Betts or Milne type and we would be pretty good. Would still have work to do but that would solve two major deficiencies.

Paul Hudson would be cheaper. Nearly got us over the line after 2001.

Yes desperately. Chimp, Lids & Dusty we need primarily in the guts doing there thing.

Nahas still has plenty to prove when he comes up against the good sides.

We had White & Jackson in our 22 playing up forward. Need to usurp them with some quality. Think what a Didak at his best or Chapman, Steve Johnson type would do to our side in place of those guys. Make a huge difference.

Ah Kingy, think you were more vehemont in his football ability (or lack of) than you are now with Webs. ;D

Mitch Morton might help who seems to be carving it up for the Swans. Another who was treated harshly by Dimma. ;D
